Ren body pampering session

There is nothing better than a nice and well deserved pampering session! Sunday eve is often the best time for me, after a busy weekend and before getting ready for another busy week.

My partner in crime for this exquisite session is the Moroccan Rose Otto body wash* and the Moroccan Rose Otto Sugar body polish* from Ren skincare and available at LoveLula (I am part of their Beauty Blogger program which enables me to test the product of my choice. Really nice). Read below to discover how I use and mainly what I find about these products!

The first step of my pampering session starts with the Morrocan Rose Otto body wash(£19.00 for 200ml). This is a body gel that really helps me to unwind. I also use it after a workout.It comes in a handy pump that delivers a clear gel that transforms instantly into an onctuous foam. It does an impeccable job at cleansing but also at softening the skin. The body wash feels really fresh and floral thanks to the Rose Otto flower oil.I would not even suspect that it also contains Lemongrass and Geranium essential oils which creates a nice balance. My skin is left delicately scented but nothing overpowering at all. Notice that you also find "perfume" in the ingredient list and it is specified that it comes from a natural origin.All in all, the Ren body wash does a great job at thoroughly cleansing my skin while promoting a feeling of well-being thanks to the Rose aroma which I adore.

I continue this nice beauty ritual with the help of the Rose Otto sugar polish(£32.00 for 330ml).Housed in a very generously sized jar, the body polish appears to be very nourishing and nurturing for the skin. A very nice smell of Rose emerges from the jar once opened thanks to the presence of the Rosa Damascena essential oil. I typically apply it to a dry skin for a maximum exfoliating effect, but if you want a more gentle way of application, just massage it on a damp skin. The polish melts into the water and transforms into a very silky milk. Meanwhile the sugar grains work at removing all dead cells and dry skin until they are completely dissolved.Combined with Cane sugar is a blend of some of the best soothing oils, includingAlmond, Olive and Safflower to soften and deeply moisturise the skin. The scrub also features the caffeine-rich ingredientsKola nut extractandParaguay Tea leaf extract. I am, however, not entirely convinced that it adds much in terms of toning effects.Let me tell you that this polish gives an amazing silky skin- extremely nourished and soft! You do not need any body lotions or oils at all. If you are looking for the perfect skin smoother, then it may definitely be this one.Following this little "me-session" with the Ren Rose Otto duo, I feel completely relaxed, refreshed. I just feel VERY well.Want to feel like me? Then get the Moroccan Rose bodywash HERE and the Rose Otto sugar polish HERE.What do you think? Have you ever tried this duo?
